Tiong created chaos in Chinese community when his newspaper company Ezywood Option Sdn. Bhd. took control of Nanyang in October 17, buying the stakes from MCA owned Huaran Holdings. The community feared that Tiong, who also own Sinchew, is going to monopoly Malaysia Chinese newspaper industry.

The Malaysian New Economic Policy (NEP), followed by National Development Policy (NDP) has been implemented for 37 years. Is NEP the effective way to improve the economic competency for Malays in all these years?
